dangit, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST THAT STUFF! it's supposed to be anything quoteworthy or otherwise interesting.

for example, when ktc was in the hospital giving birth and complications afterward, someone could have been quoting the various orc and facespace hearsay posts here. then someone who had been away from woot for a few days could read them all in one place here, instead of hunting for them through the somewhat more mundane pwa chatter.

Hmm, I didn't know that. Being the thread's name is, SILLINESS: Randomly quoted posts of no particular significance I wouldn't have thought that it would have been appropriate to post things about KtC's situation here because of the words SILLINESS and posts of no particular significance.

Thanks for letting us know what you intended for this thread. You're right, when we want to find some information sometimes it's difficult to find when you haven't had a chance to read in a few days.

Oh man, I've totally been doin' it wrong.

Not sure if you should post that? This slightly-nsfw-flowchart will help.

I think once a thread starts it seems to evolve and take on a life of it's own. Then it just is what it is.

i didn't think i would be the only one to quote anything, and there is no rule to systematically determine what's quotable, so "random" was the best word i could think of.

likewise, the significance of the posts was intended to be all over the board; some are significant, some are, uh, less so. so there is no set, or "particular," significance.

the "silliness" part came later after most of the quotes ended up being of the less, uh, serious kind. "silliness" is a catchall category for threads that aren't talk/chat or games threads. that could be changed, if someone has a better word.
